And Christian Scores!

Christian wanted to try playing basketball this year and today (12/18/2010) he scored his very first basket. They don't really keep score at this age but shhhh.....I really know we won 6 nothing.

I'm sure there will be many more, but we are so very proud of our little man.

Good job Christian!



Here is a picture with one of his best friends Mitchell.

Gabe's Birthday Party

Here's some pictures from Gabe's Birthday Party at Roller Sports. There are a couple things in this world that remain constant...Jesus, and the roller skating rink decor.

We had a great time celebrating Gabe's birthday!

good ole santa clause. . .

so every year. . . we leave the cookies out for santa. every year. . . santa fills the stockings on christmas morning. every year. . . santa leaves a note for the boys. and every year. . . the boys ask if santa is real. our response is always the same. "it's just a fun thing we pretend at Christmas." no other details. . . just plain and simple. . . we pretend. they have never asked any more questions.

well. . . yesterday when i picked christian (5 yrs old) up from preschool his teacher pulled me aside. she told me that christian had told the other kids at the lunch table that santa wasn't real. he said, "santa doesn't eat those cookies, your mom does." oops!!

needless to say, we had a little talk about keeping that to ourselves. here's hoping that good ole santa clause still visits the dewalk household this year!! =)

you'll always be my baby. . .

how did you go from this....

 

to this....

 

. . . in such a short amount of time. we love you more than you know, gabe. happy 9th birthday! no matter how big you get, you will always be my baby! xoxoxoxoxo
